Let $(A,\m)$ be a local hypersurface with isolated singularity. We show that Hochster's theta pairing vanishes on elements that are {numerically equivalent to zero} in the Grothendieck group of $A$ under the mild assumption that $\spec A$…

A topological interpretation of Hochster's Theta pairing of two modules on a hypersurface ring is given in terms of linking numbers. This generalizes results of M. Hochster and proves a conjecture of J. Steenbrink. As a corollary we get…

Hochster's theta invariant is defined for a pair of finitely generated modules on a hypersurface ring having only an isolated singularity. Up to a sign, it agrees with the Euler invariant of a pair of matrix factorizations. Working over the…

M. Hochster defines an invariant namely $\Theta(M,N)$ associated to two finitely generated module over a hyper-surface ring $R=P/f$, where $P=k\{x_0,...,x_n\}$ or $k[X_0,...,x_n]$, for $k$ a field and $f$ is a germ of holomorphic function…

Let R be an isolated hypersurface singularity, and let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. As R is a hypersurface, the torsion modules of M against N are eventually periodic of period two (i.e., Tor_i^R(M,N) is isomorphic to…

Keller proved in 1999 that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology of an algebra is an invariant of the derived category. In this paper, we adapt his approach to show that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the…

We analyze stable homology over associative rings and obtain results over Artin algebras and commutative noetherian rings. Our study develops similarly for these classes; for simplicity we only discuss the latter here. Stable homology is a…

We study H. Dao's invariant $\eta_c^R$ of pairs of modules defined over a complete intersection ring $R$ of codimension $c$ having an isolated singularity. Our main result is that $\eta_c^R$ vanishes for all pairs of modules when $R$ is a…

We prove an algebraic property of the elements defining Hecke operators on period polynomials associated with modular forms, which implies that the pairing on period polynomials corresponding to the Petersson scalar product of modular forms…

In this paper, we introduce and study relative Auslander--Gorenstein pairs. This consists of a finite-dimensional Gorenstein algebra together with a self-orthogonal module that provides a further homological feature of the algebra in terms…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus at least two over the complex numbers. A pair (E,\phi) over X consists of an algebraic vector bundle E over X and a holomorphic section \phi of E. There is a concept of stability for pairs which…

Let G be a semisimple, simply-connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We observe that the tensor product of the Steinberg module with a minuscule module is always indecomposable tilting.…

We compute the homotopy type of the moduli space of flat, unitary connections over aspherical surfaces, after stabilizing with respect to the rank of the underlying bundle. Over the orientable surface M^g, we show that this space has the…

A basis for the space of generalized theta functions of level one for the spin groups, parameterized by the theta characteristics (the even theta characteristcs for the odd spin groups) on a curve, is shown to be projectively flat over the…

We define the theta group associated to a simple coherent sheaf $\cal F$ on a hyperk\"ahler manifold $X$ of Kummer type or OG6 type, provided $g^{*}({\cal F})$ is isomorphic to $\cal F$ for every automorphism $g$ of $X$ acting trivially on…

As is known, every finite-dimensional algebra over a field is isomorphic to the centralizer algebra of \textbf{two} matrices. So it is fundamental to study first the centralizer algebra of a single matrix, called a centralizer matrix…

We study the Hecke algebra modules arising from theta correspondence between certain Harish-Chandra series for type I dual pairs over finite fields. For the product of the pair of Hecke algebras under consideration, we show that there is a…

Let $R$ be a commutative $\mathbb{Z}[1/p]$-algebra, let $m \leq n$ be positive integers, and let $G_n=\text{GL}_n(F)$ and $G_m=\text{GL}_m(F)$ where $F$ is a $p$-adic field. The Weil representation is the smooth $R[G_n\times G_m]$-module…

We identify a class of symmetric algebras over a complete discrete valuation ring $\mathcal O$ of characteristic zero to which the characterisation of Kn\"orr lattices in terms of stable endomorphism rings in the case of finite group…

We establish a transfer of unitarity for a Bernstein component of the category of smooth representations of a reductive p-adic group to the associated Hecke algebra, in the framework of the theory of types, whenever the Hecke algebra is an…
